Now that we have a President who is not intimidated by the Progressive Ruling Class, this is the time for the American People, regardless of party affiliation, to rise up and restore our government to what it was meant to be: “of the people, by the people, for the people.” This is how President Abraham Lincoln described our government in 1863, after many thousands of brave patriots had sacrificed life and limb for liberty and justice, both in the American Revolution and the American Civil War.

President Wilson creates a government of the elite

Only half a century later President Woodrow Wilson, along with a “progressive” Congress began to lead us in the opposite direction, by assuming powers not authorized in the Constitution. Wilson claimed that the documents that served as the foundation of our government “read like a document from a forgotten time,” and he proceeded to establish federal agencies with the power to pass and enforce laws – calling them regulations. He also instituted the first income tax – in direct violation of the 4th Amendment.

Our system of government has been regressing ever since. Precisely 50 years after the American People saw fit to elect the first President to describe himself as “progressive,” President John F. Kennedy, in 1962, handed over the keys to our national treasury to unelected union bosses, when he signed Executive Order 10988 creating public employee unions, which today number 7.2 million members. Not surprisingly, five months later the U. S. Supreme Court ruled public schools to be government schools, which completed the overthrow of our system.

Progressives are not only responsible for an explosion in crime, corruption and a prison system bursting at the seams, their abandonment of the most basic principles of justice has also resulted in growing terror all across the world, as a direct result of conceding to terrorists who blew up buses and hijacked airplanes in the 1960s.

Precisely 50 years after the coup of 1962, President Barack Obama sent the IRS to silence the American People, which gave Progressives another four years to consolidate their power. Fortunately, enough Americans saw the “handwriting on the wall” and elected President Donald Trump in 2016. Yet, Progressives still occupy many positions in government and in Congress – fighting him every step of the way.

Time to reclaim our institutions

It is now up to liberty-loving Americans to replace all Progressives in Congress with true patriots who stand for our founding principles. Thanks to David White, who represents Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in New Jersey, we now have a proposed bill that empowers all Americans to distinguish between Progressives and Constitutionalists – the “Civil Rights Act for Equal Educational Opportunity.”

Those in Congress who refuse to sponsor this bill to reestablish our founding principles, improve both the quality and efficiency of education, while slashing taxes by billions of dollars annually – for rich and poor alike – are surely among the Progressives. By replacing them in the 2018 Primary Elections we will be well on our way to making America great again.

Our task is to prevail on Congress (202-224-3121) to sponsor and pass this 100-word bill to set us back onto the Constitutional Track:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Accordingly, all parents are to be empowered to provide their children with quality K-12 education that meets their needs, talents and faith, for one-half the cost of their local public school, provided they are taught and trained to comply with the laws of their city, state and country. Half the savings are to be returned to taxpayers and half are to pay down government debt.
